Plumbing only: the widget-type literal and its dtype table on both sides,
the regenerated client, a curated lucide map and four stubs the renderers
are wired to. Also a latching switch and a segmented dropdown, both a
`style` on the control that already publishes and reads back, plus the
option editor a dropdown never had.

A chart is drawn in buckets, and nothing it can show changes until the
bucket it is drawing closes — so the resolution sets the refresh rather
than a flat five-second floor. A week at quarter-hour buckets now asks
four times an hour instead of sixty, for the same picture. Leaving the
field empty follows the window; a slower rate is still honoured.
`make seed-example` builds the thing to evaluate it with: a flow that
logs a temperature to InfluxDB, a flow that answers a chart's request by
turning the window into Flux and the rows back into a series, and a
dashboard holding the chart. The reading flow declares the request as an
input with a starting value, which is how a flow says a value reaches it
from a panel rather than from a node upstream.
Axis labels keep enough decimals to stay distinct — `si` rounds to three
figures, so every tick of a chart living inside one degree read "19".

A chart can now ask for what it draws instead of reading the ring the
engine keeps. It publishes a request — the window and the resolution —
exactly as a slider publishes a value, and draws the series a flow
answers with. What serves the request is the flow's business, so the
widget never learns which database was behind it.
The answer says what it was computed for and one computed for another
window is ignored, so two charts on one node cost a duplicate query
rather than overwriting each other's picture. Identical requests still
in flight are asked once per tab, and the refresh has a floor under it.
The panel gains the presentation the document could already hold: the
per-series label, a unit, and a y axis that can be pinned.

A dashboard now carries the canvas it is drawn for (canvas_width /
canvas_height, presets plus two numbers in the settings panel). Editor and
wall panel render that surface at its true pixel size and scale it to fit,
so a side panel opening changes only the scale — never the arrangement
being made. With the width and column count known the dot pitch is exact,
(width + gap) / columns by row height + gap, so a dot sits where every
widget corner snaps. The wall panel shows no dots.

One shell for both editors. Flows and dashboards each get a searchable
overview under the padded shell, their editors move to the full-bleed
canvas, and the floating chrome is shared: a title bar that only says
what you are looking at, and a bottom dock carrying everything else —
the flow bar's status, settings and Publish moved down there, the
add-flow button moved to the overview.
Dashboards gain the rest of M4's visualization work:
- widgets are picked by clicking them, with the header as the drag
handle so a slider still slides and a switch still flips while
editing; settings moved into the flows' SidePanel
- react-grid-layout for drag and edge-resize, so the stored x/y finally
mean something; a dashboard nobody arranged is shelf-packed once
- a per-dashboard grid size, so a panel can be matched to its screen
- the chart widget, drawn with uPlot: several messages on one axis, fed
from the stored history plus the live socket tail, coloured from the
new --chart-1..5 ramp
- /view/{name}: the URL a wall panel is pointed at — no sidebar, no
footer, no editing, and no editor code, since routes are split
- a widget wired to a payload type it cannot carry, or wired to nothing
at all, carries the same red dot a failing node does; the picker
records the type it bound and WidgetDef refuses a mismatch on save
